Chapter 348: Assassination

Chu Li held up his glass again, smiling as he looked at Song Menglin. "Lector Song, you have an encyclopedic mind and are gifted with an ability to rule, to serve the people. I admire you because of this. Here's a toast to you, Lector!"

Once again, he downed his drink in a gulp.

Lector Song nodded approvingly and finished his drink as well.

After proposing the toasts, he turned to Song Sansi and Li Gui who were chuckling to themselves all the while.

The two of them seemed to have no intention to exchange toasts and remained unmoved as if they were not aware of what they should be doing.

Li Gui nodded. "That's right. I was born in the Xue Residence and grew up with the princess."

"I see that you're a man of loyalty." Chu Li smiled. "Then Chief Song, are you the scribe of Consort Song?"
